In fact, it works best with hot loads. I can't tell that they are any more accurate than a bone stock L-frame but it does say "Performance Center" on the frame.
I noticed both of yours are the keyless variety. that was a bad move IMO, on S&W's part. No one I know of likes them at all.

I wouldn't mind the Comp but I can't help thinking what a noise it would make indoors and all the bright flash from the ports. That's my one big beef with Comp guns. Even the ones Magnaported years ago didn't catch my eye.
